Not worth the amount we paid. We stayed one night as it was convenient, but the experience was far from comfortable. The property is in serious need of a facelift, and the lack of air-conditioning made the room extremely stuffy. The bed was terrible — we could feel every spring in the mattress, making it the worst we’ve ever slept on. There was no comfort in the room at all. The only positive was the check-in process: it was smooth, and the staff member was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, I will not be staying here again.
